Alliance Française French Film Screenings:
March 6 – April 10 2019
Although I am unable to take the students to any of the special school screenings this year due to timetable constraints, parents may like to take their children to see one or both of these lovely movies.
Dilili à Paris ( Dilili in Paris)
Our heroine is a precocious six-year-old girl, Dilili, who travels to Paris as a stowaway from the Pacific island of New Caledonia.
As a series of kidnappings casts a dark shadow across Paris, Dilili takes it upon herself to get to the bottom of the disappearances. The pint-sized detective follows a trail of clues, with local delivery boy, Orel, acting as the Watson to her Holmes. Orel knows every major figure from the artistic heyday of the Belle Époque – Marie Curie, Picasso, Renoir, Louis Pasteur, Gustave Eiffel and Colette, just to name a few. They all play a part in Dilili’s investigation, as do the many glorious landmarks of Paris that are still present today.
Asterix: The secret of the Magic Potion. 
As our students well know, the tales of Asterix and Obelix are a deeply cultural and classic tale of the little guy (France or Gaul as it was then known) battling against the hostile invasion of a larger more menacing force. In this latest adventure a cast of old favourites go on the hunt for a talented druid to whom to entrust the secret recipe for the magic potion that has helped our beloved Gaulish village hold out against Julius Cesar and his invading army so valiantly. The venerable druid Getafix suffers a terrible accident and as he recovers from his injuries, he realises a succession plan must be put in place to pass on his magic potion and keep the village safe. The ensuing adventure comes loaded with lashings of wild boar and an almost endless supply of Romans for Obélix to battle.
Bonne journée
